---------------------------------
British mathematician and Father of Computer Science, George Boole, was born on November 2, 1815. Digital computer's logic is based on Boolean Algebra. He was a Professor of Mathematics at Queen's College, Cork, Ireland. He was a modest man devoted to intellectual pursuit and was well esteemed by his colleagues.
Boolean Algebra would have remained obscure but for Claude Shannon who took it for his master's thesis at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and showed to the world the application of Boolean Algebra to digital circuits.
His college honoured him by naming its Library and its Centre for Informatics Research after him. A crater on the moon is named after him.
He died of fever on December 8, 1864 at the age of 49.

2. MAHENDRALAL SARKAR
----------------------------------------------
Father of Indian Homeopathy and Founder of the Indian Association for Cultivation of Science(IACS), Mahendralal Sarkar, was born on November 2, 1833 in Paikpara, Bengal. He was also a social reformer.
He provided homeopathic treatment to Sri Ramakrishna Paramahamsa during his last days for his throat cancer. He became an admirer of his patient, though he did not accept him as an incarnation of God as a man of science. I have come across many references to him in the Gospel of Sri Ramakrishna. Further, during homeopathy classes, I learnt more about him and his conversion from allopathy to homeopathy as a seeker of truth. He openly proclaimed at a meeting of the British Medical Association the superiority of Homeopathy.
It was at the IACS founded by Sarkar, C.V.Raman carried out his research which culminated in his winning the Nobel Prize for Physics. Raman was Honorary Secretary of IACS.
He passed away in Kolkatta on February 23, 1904 at the age of 70.

4. SHAHRUKH KHAN
-------------------------------------
Famous Hindi film Hero, Shahrukh Khan, was born on this day in 1965 in New Delhi.
I have seen some of his films and thoroughly enjoyed them. He is natural actor, easily captivating the audience. I have seen his films, 'Dil To Pagal Hai', 'Kuch Kuch Hota Hai', 'Devdas' and 'Kal Ho Naa Ho'. He has also produced films like 'Asoka' and 'Chalte Chalte'. Before entering films, he was a popular TV actor. He has won the coveted Filmfare Award for Best Acting seven times and probably win some more.
He has a large number of fans not only in India but in other countries also.
